Our objections are :- The elected representatives for Waingroves are based in Ripley not Heanor and they understand the comunity and any problems, Heanor representatives would be at a disadvantage by not knowing the area. Local residents use Ripley (which is in easy walking distance) for shopping and entertainment not Heanor. Waingroves Primary School is in the catchment area for Ripley Mill Hill School not a Heanor school. Waingroves postal address is DE5 the same as Ripley not Heanor that is DE75. Waingroves Methodist Church is part of the Ripley based circuit. There are large housing developments in the area that would put Waingroves in the Ripley urban area. We can see know valid reason why the present boundaries need to change. Please acknowledge this email and give the reason for the alteration of the present boundaries. Thank you Barry and Margaret Bailey 06/06/2012 Page 1 of 1 Lawrence, Arion From: Gregory, Eleanor Sent: 06 June 2012 10:14 To: Lawrence, Arion Subject: FW: Proposal to move waingroves into the Heanor electoral division From: Shirley Bailey [mailto: Sent: 03 June 2012 14:45 To: Reviews@ Subject: Proposal to move waingroves into the Heanor electoral division My partner and I wish to object to the proposal to move Waingroves from the Ripley to the Heanor electoral division. The Waingroves ward is part of the area which Ripley Town Council covers and it has always been so. Waingroves has always been linked to Ripley and it has no connections with Heanor. The residents of Waingroves use Ripley for shopping, services and entertainment and Ripley is seen as their local town not Heanor. Ripley is within walking distance of Waingroves. Transport is required to reach Heanor. The Waingroves primary school is in the catchment of Ripley Mill Hill secondary school not Heanor. The school is part of the Ripley cluster not Heanor. GP cover for Waingroves is through Ripley surgeries and hospital appointments are routinely at Ripley hospital not Heanor . The postcode for Waingroves is DE5, the postal address using Ripley as it’s town, not DE75 which is the Heanor postcode. Fire services are based at Ripley Fire Station not Heanor. Ambulance services are based at Ripley. Police services are based in Ripley. The Waingroves Community has a long connection with Ripley and they would elect to keep the village in the Ripley Ward.Waingroves is a single seat ward on Ripley Town Council and it shares a Borough Councillor with Codnor. It makes no sense to change this. Shirley Bailey and Brian Sargent I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter. SPAMfighter has removed 186 of my spam emails to date. Do you have a slow PC?

The government is telling us that communities should pull together under the localism bill and look for volunteers to help run things you propose to cut our village in half. This will put our ward with no natural boundary’s. The village wants to keep its own identity, I would ask you before you make a final decision to come and meet us and see for yourselves what is being proposed. The cheapest way would have been to increase the County Council by one seat.

Under the new proposals it appears that Waingroves would come under the "Greater Heanor" area. This is not in line with the way that the local area works. Waingroves comes under Ripley Town Council, has separate members for Amber Valley Borough Council (along with Codnor). Waingroves is seen locally as part of the wider Ripley suburbs, and local issues relate around Ripley. There is no connection in that way with Heanor. By moving our rep any issues affecting the village of Waingroves would not be dealt with by someone who understands the village and the area. This does not reflect the local community set up.

Our post code quite clearly states DE5, which is a Ripley code. Although I live in Waingroves my GP is based in Ripley and I'm not prepared to move GP's under any circumstances due to suffering from MS. Ripley patients are referred to Derby hospitals where I'm under a superb neurologist. I do not wished to be referred to Nottingham hospitals, 07/06/2012 Page 2 of 2 where the stress and traveling experience is far worst and affects my condition. When shopping we always go to Ripley and would not be urged to go to Heanor. Codnor and Waingroves share a Borough Councillor and it makes absolutely no sense to add another layer of complexity to local government administration by adding another electoral complication. Codnor and Waingroves are the catchment area for Ripley Mill Hill secondary school, not a Heanor School. So to conclude do not move Waingroves and Codnor under the Heanor Division, it makes no sense!!!!!!! File upload: This communication is from LGBCE (http://www.lgbce.org.uk) - Sent to Review Editor 07/06/2012 Page 1 of 1 Lawrence, Arion From: K CARTER Sent: 23 May 2012 20:53 To: Reviews@ Subject: Boundary review From We wish to object to the proposed change to the boundaries of a number of Derbyshire County Councils electoral divisions. These include moving a substantial part of Codnor and Waingroves from the Ripley division into Heanor. We have never had any links with Heanor whereas Waingroves has always been linked to Ripley both in terms of the Urban District Council days and also Derbyshire County Council days. The postal addresses uses Ripley as its town and has the postcode DE5 and not DE75 (which is Heanor) Waingroves Primary School has Ripley Mill Hill secondary school as its preferred link to further education and is also a part of the Ripley 'cluster' of schools who consult and work with each other. The community uses Ripley for entertainment, shopping and services, not Heanor. Waingroves is a single seat ward on Ripley Town Council. Fire cover is from Ripley and not Heanor Fire Station. Health cover for Waingroves is through Ripley GP surgeries and hospital appointments for Waingroves people are routinely at Ripley and Derby hospitals, not Heanor hospitals. The church circuit is with Ripley and not Heanor. Waingroves is closer to Ripley in distance than it is to Heanor.
